A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning. I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird! When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture.

Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time! Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY.

Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow.

Our stitching galfriend, Wanda, has sent a “work in progress” photo of her RedWork Garden.

Can hardly wait to see an update!!

Email me to tell me others of you are out there enjoying your Embroidery in Red. I don’t want to have only a couple people come to our Challenge Party…..party hats are ready! Photos for sharing are wanted, too.

It took 5 days to drive back to Kelseyville from Houston. We did make a detour from I-10 to I-8 and visited San Diego for part of a day.

Such a beautiful place!! Absolutely fabulous weather and views all over the place….enjoyed a walk to La Jolla beach near Robin’s daughter’s house, a walk in La Jolla Village to lunch overlooking the seal beach in La Jolla Cove.

Lucy parked at Kate Sessions Park – we don’t fit in many other places in San Diego where every square inch of land is too valuable for large parking lots!

View from Lucy looking at the bay and Pacific Ocean. Breathtaking!

Smiling Jennifer and Milo coming to get us to have a quick tour of their new home and yummy lunch.

I snapped a photo of Jennifer, Milo and Tina just before heading back to I-5 and home. Tina and I are SO HAPPY to be home again. Back to fun designing to finish with our new A Quilter’s Garden fabric when it comes soon!
